Samba is a marching dance. In the process of dancing, it goes around the field along the dance line.

Samba dance is the most exciting dance with special rhythm in Latin dance. The most prominent feature of samba dance is the rebound action of samba, which is caused by the bending and straightening of knee joint and ankle joint. In all samba movements of 1 a 2, the knee joint and ankle joint support most of the center of gravity. Samba dance is completely on the foot, and the heel can't be lifted. The style characteristics of samba dance can be summarized as: jumping with footwork and swaying posture. Bouncing with footwork, that is, when dancing samba, your knees bend and stretch with the strong music rhythm, and when you come out slowly, your knees bend. When the first one comes out quickly, the soles of your feet touch the ground and bear part of the center of gravity. The knees of the other leg are straight, and your body feels bouncing up at the same time, and your hips swing with it. Just like an elastic object, it is downward, and when the pressure is removed, it will rebound upward. The sense of swaying posture, that is, many samba steps are left-leaning, middle-falling or leaning forward and backward, which is a bit like palm trees swaying in the wind and has a distinctive style of national dance in tropical areas. Beginners of samba must practice the rebound in the same place. First, they should bounce their knees at the same time with an average rhythm, and then do the samba dance with the characteristic rhythm of 1 a 2, that is, the first step is to bend their knees (1), the second step is to straighten (a), and the third step is to bend their knees (3). The farewell step of samba is a very important action in samba dance. In the process of practice, we must solve a series of problems such as the accuracy of rebound rhythm and the coordination between feet and body, so beginners must practice repeatedly and master it skillfully. There are many rhythms of samba, and the most commonly used one is 1 a 2, in which 1 accounts for three quarters of the beat, a accounts for one quarter of the beat and 2 accounts for one beat. The whole basic movement is two beats. When teachers teach students samba, they usually use the method of 1 a 2 to count the beats (Wan Atu). For beginners, it is better to use another method of counting beats, namely1&; A 2, add a beat between the original 1 and A to further decompose the movements, which is very helpful for beginners to master the essentials of dance steps. In this counting method,1& account is a quarter beat. Two-quarters beat, A still accounts for a quarter beat, and 2 accounts for one beat. When we have mastered the basic steps, we can omit beat per minute &; , and changed to 1 accounting for three quarters of the beat, A accounting for one quarter of the beat, and 2 accounting for one beat. The beat positions of 1 and A are the same as before, except that an action is added to the original time value of 1. I don't know if this is clear. In fact, some things in dance are difficult to express clearly in words, which is why many Latin dance textbooks only introduce the essentials in general, and the specific dance steps only talk about how to walk, not the essentials. This is also the main reason why dance mainly depends on the teacher's words and deeds. Say first1&; A 2 (Pinyin: Wan 'en Artu) The steps and essentials of decomposing samba by this counting method.

Warm-up action: the left leg is in the Latin cross position behind the right leg, the toes point to the ground, bear part of the center of gravity, and the knees are bent; Relax your right leg and knee, don't lock it, and come out from the crotch to the right. The heel of the right leg is lifted and the body bounces, the center of gravity of the body moves to the left, and the left leg spans one step to the left. (Landing your left foot on the 1 beat in the next bar is an action of half a beat in advance) Samba step to the left:

1, after the preparation, the forefoot of the left leg touches the ground, the knee bends into a left lunge, and the center of gravity of the body is lowered. The center of gravity is always kept on the palm of the front foot, and the heel is lowered without the center of gravity. (compressed, quarter beat)

& The heel of the left leg is lifted, and the body bounces (bounces back), while the right leg moves to the Latin cross position behind the left leg. (Two-fourths beat) A, the right leg falls in the Latin cross step position behind the left leg, the toes touch the ground, and the center of gravity moves to the toes of the right leg. (The body continues to rise to the highest point for a quarter beat) 2. When the forefoot of the left leg falls to the ground, the center of gravity of the body begins to drop (and begins to compress). The knee of the left leg is bent, the crotch is to the left, the toe of the right leg is at the Latin cross position behind the left leg, and the knee is bent (first half racket). In the second half, the heel of the left leg is lifted and bounced, the center of gravity moves to the right, and the right leg takes a step to the right. (For the action of half a beat in advance, the right foot should fall on the 1 beat in the next section to prepare for samba step to the right. )

Samba, don't go to the right:

1, touch the top, the forefoot of the right leg falls to the ground, the knee bends into a right lunge, and the center of gravity of the body is lowered. The center of gravity is always kept on the palm of the front foot, and the heel is lowered without the center of gravity. (compressed, quarter beat)

& When the heel of the right leg is lifted, the body bounces up, and the left leg moves to the Latin cross position behind the right leg. (Two-fourths beat) A, the left leg falls in the Latin cross step position behind the right leg, the toes touch the ground, and the center of gravity moves to the toes of the left leg. (keep the highest point and quarter beat) 2. When the forefoot of the right leg falls to the ground, the center of gravity of the body begins to drop (and begins to compress). The knee of the right leg is bent and extended to the right. The toe of the left leg is in the Latin cross step position behind the right leg, and the knee is bent (first half shot). In the second half, the heel of the right leg is lifted and bounced, the center of gravity moves to the left, and the left leg spans one step to the left. (For half a beat in advance, the left foot should fall on the 1 beat in the next bar.)

Practice samba repeatedly according to the above essentials, and I believe you will soon become proficient as a beginner. Once you master it, you don't need to use1&; A 2' s method is to calculate the beat, but it uses 1 a 2, but in the original work & the upward bounce of the body in position still needs to be done, but we haven't worked it out&; The number of beats can be omitted, but the action cannot be omitted.

When most people samba, they are&; In this position, there is no body bounce, and the samba that jumps out lacks its unique charm.
